Ongoing Events

* "The Veil: Visible and Invisible Spaces," Sept. 7-Dec. 10, Galleries at Peeler, Richard E. Peeler Art Center. By engaging perceived wisdom about the veil -- particularly current clichés and stereotypes about Islamic practices -- this exhibition reflects on the ubiquity, importance, and profundity of the veil throughout human history and imagination. For more information call 658-4336 or check www.depauw.edu/galleries

* Terrence Hannum: "New Rites," Sept. 22-Dec. 10, Galleries at Peeler, Richard E. Peeler Art Center. Terrence Hannum's paintings, drawings and video installations employ the imagery and rituals of underground music subcultures as a means of exploring the transcendence and impermanence of sound and performance.

* Tarrah Krajnak and Wilka Roig: "(untitled #)," Oct. 27-Dec. 10, Galleries at Peeler, Richard E. Peeler Art Center. Deeply rooted in the language of the archive and the dialect of performance, Tarrah Krajnak and Wilka Roig's photographs expose the rhetoric underlying representational strategies and question their relationship to history and contemporary culture.

* 2nd Annual Juried Show, Nov. 12-28, Low Road Gallery, Downtown Greencastle. Opening 7 p.m. Nov. 19, featuring talk by guest juror, Leslie Sharpe, professor of Digital Art at Indiana University.
